Stop the Tide
Ocean plastic starts on land. So does the solution.
The film
Produced by EXOS.
The challenge
A tide nobody sees coming
Every year, about 11 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean. Most of it does not come from ships. It comes from land: from riverbanks and coastal towns with nowhere else for their waste to go. For the people who live from the sea, it arrives with every catch.
~11 million tonnes
of plastic enter the ocean every year.
The solution
Stop it where it starts
01
Catch it on the river
A floating barrier guides waste to the bank.
02
Sort and dry
Collected waste is sorted by hand and pressed into fuel pellets.
03
Convert
On the riverbank, Jenja turns it into clean gas. Nothing burns in the open.
04
Power and cold
Power for the depot, the market and the street, and cold storage so the catch keeps.
05
The sea
Every tonne stopped on land is a tonne the sea never sees.
In one line
Stop it on land. Turn it into power.
